Because Nahash the snake
already lives in the garden
it does not matter if the human

eats the fruit or not….
because she already knows
the difference.

Knowledge itself is the snake in the grass.

In the Light of day God creates order
from the chaos and Nahash is forced
to obey the commandments, but

in the Dark of night God dreams and
Nahash walks in the Garden, 
God seeking knowledge of his own image.

When God expelled his divine image
from Paradise, he stopped dreaming.
God will never sleep in peace
until the human returns to the Garden.
